SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN EMPLOYABILITY AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP FROM THE APPROACH OF TRANSVERSAL SKILLS

Abstract

The accelerated digital transformation caused by the development of technology and as an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, has generated impacts that are manifested in virtually all activities of human endeavor, deepening its effect on employability. This situation poses additional demands on vocational training that show the need to rethink the "education-employability" link, and "entrepreneurial education" has emerged as an alternative. This article aims to analyze whether entrepreneurial competencies and employability competencies complement each other or, alternatively, whether one is immersed in the other, while assessing the degree of development of these competencies in university education. The study was based on a descriptive documentary methodology supported by a quantitative approach, adopting the survey as a data collection technique. The main finding obtained reveals that: employability competencies are immersed in entrepreneurial competencies. Consequently, employability and entrepreneurship form an indivisible symbiosis
